Transport and Containers

Arrival of a container in the interim storage

If radioactive waste is transported, it falls within ENSI’s regulatory area. The safety measures for such transports are subject to strict national and international regulations.

Radioactive waste can be transported by road or rail. Special containers are used, on the one hand to protect the environment from radiation, and on the other to protect the material contained within them. International regulations and ENSI guidelines govern the design, manufacture and use of such transport and storage containers.
